WASHINGTON - Prince George's County Councilwoman Karen Toles, who was fined for reckless driving and an unsafe lane change while speeding on the Beltway, says she plans to challenge at least one of her citations.
A trial is scheduled for April 20 in Upper Marlboro.
Toles pleaded guilty to the unsafe lane change on March 5. It's the second time she's paid a $90 fine for that particular citation.
Legal experts tell the Washington Post that Toles' attorney could now try to throw out the reckless driving charge on double jeopardy grounds.

hey Joe...no comment on this article (she'll get off), but Fox News has a story on Connecticutt State troopers being challenged to write over 345 tickets in one day. ONE DAY. By ONE troop. The other troops wrote 301 and 345. In one day. At let's say, $40 a ticket, that's $12,000 a day from the citizens. Challenged by their troop commander. No quota's? Technically true....I hope Maryland doesn't get a whiff of this....
Drive like your supposed to and you wont get a ticket. The laws are there for a reason..everyones safety.
